lifestyle features, that make Pearland “The Community of Choice.” And the events and programming in this edition of Pearland in Motio n is a representation of that continued commitment. It brings us joy to have the staff and resources that allow us to provide you with a variety of events and programs that will get you out into the community and get connected. If you see a staff member working an event, or anywhere in the City for that matter, feel free to stop and thank them. Be sure to attend our Celebration of Freedom event. Thousands of community members come out to beautiful Independence Park to celebrate all evening with stage performances, food vendors, activities for the kids and, of course, fireworks! I hope to see you there. It’s an exciting time to live in Pearland. We’re glad you’re here.
